Interplanting


This is the combination of green onions, beets, and cabbage I planted early in the season. A borage plant to the right and a mint plant to the left were added later to try to fend off the bugs. You can see the outline of the cold frame around the plants, and my foot for reference (it is approximately 1 foot long, in this shoe). Interplanting seems to be working well so far, though it is not perfect. I suspect that to get healthier plants, I would need more sun and better soil that did not put a foundation of solid clay under the plants. Someday, maybe I'll have the time to fully rehabilitate soil, and see what we can get.
